Re: TeX and DVI output from 2.6 native Windows install

[Art Hixson]

One of the things I thought was particularly interesting about Lilypond 
was its interface with LaTeX.  I was thinking about using the DOC format 
to write some prefaces to works I'm editing.  Unfortunately, I'm barely 
able to work in LaTeX at this point but I think it has great potential.  
So, if TeX is no longer supported, how can one integrate music examples 
with text?  And wasn't the documentation in DOC format?

Also, the manual clearly retains the TeX and DVI options so the 
developers must have intended it to work.
